YourImageLink.com w/PR and revenue

**dsotmoon** · 08-15-2005, 01:58 PM

Hello, I am offering for sale http://YourImageLink.com, I listed this a month ago but the winning bidder backed out, I bought this back in April, have worked countless hours building its link popularity, Google PR, search engine positions and revenue. I will state right up front if the bidding does not meet my minimim I will not sell. I am only selling to move on to another project to build its popularity. Yes this is another image Hosting site, using a prozilla turnkey script. So what makes this one different than most of the others...

a) it has a Google PR4 (main page), all inner pages are PR2 or 3, I expect it to go to atleast a PR5 next update
b) easily identifiable domain name (push from Enom), you can do searches and see where people actually use the domain name as an example (ie: yourimagelink.com/images/blblbla.gif) to show others how to post images.
c) i have worked hard at its linking, depending which tool you use it shows from 70,000 to 100,000 link popularity, so its no light weight
d) search engine positions: you can see from the screen shot below it gets good search engine traffic (they all spider regularly and I change up the content and wording to keep it fresh)
e) good referrers: I have submitted to many directories and free sites along with good traffic from blogs, myspace, livejournal and alot of traffic coming from http://www.free-webhosts.com/ , its also popular on sitefight.com
f) optimized the main index page via full html which I believe is helping with the search engines and PR
g) created a custom header file so it doesnt look like all the other prozilla sites and added a links page for reciprocal links, kept it to a minimum as to not annoy Google
h) shows great potential for a good revenue steam after just 2 months
i) Is currently #6 on Yahoo for "free image hosting"
j) Custom "Welcome" page set up that users are directed to when they click on a YIL hosted image on a website or in a forum, the first 14 days of August 941 people have clicked on one of our images and taken to the welcome page... http://www.yourimagelink.com/welcome.html

Adsense: I have redone all the pages and optimized for adsense again and you can see from the end of july adsense stats where it has picked up and continued into August. This is revenue from just 300 uniques a day, this will explode as the traffic grows. From July 27th(when I optimized the adsense) to August 14 it is averaging 1.43 per day, I expect that to be 2.00 to 3.00 a day in a short period of time. You can see from the attached screen shots there are already some 3.00 and 4.00 days.

Other revenue: One text link sold for $4.00 for 30 days, there is a custom page set up at http://yourimagelink.com/advertise.html to sell text links

Right now the site is growing, I have concentrated on good link popularity and search engine traffic rather than posting it all over every forum on the internet, which the new owner may want to do since i have worked it in all other aspects. It is getting about 300 uniques a day (it was 200 last month, very steady growth), statcounter.com shows 8200 uniques and over 18,000 page loads for July (3000 more uniques than June) and it used 100GB of bandwidth in July. Alexa (although doesnt mean alot) shows a great growth spurt, see below) There are 314 registered users and right at 20,000 images uploaded (which only takes up 69MB of disk space), 200-300 new images per day, there is no porn, I check images 2-3 times a day a delete anything questionable, from the look of the pics so far the user base seems to be teenagers and 20 somethings, about 85% of traffic is US with little China traffic. This site has extreme potential and I am partly selling it based on this and the work that has went into it so please do not offer based on revenue alone. It will no doubt grow with the site. This is for someone looking to market and grow a site where all the leg work has been done, please bid accordingly. It is on a dedicated server with my other sites so it will have to be moved, moving will be your responsibility, prefer someone who can just move it via WHM as it is on a cpanel server but I can give FTP access to those who can move it themselves.

Starting price: $100.00 US (Although I will not sell if it doesnt reach somewhere around 650.00)
Buy it now: $1400.00
Paypal payments only via account balance or credit/debit card. I am US verified. Only accepting if you are verified.

Please post or PM your offers and questions. This will also be posted at WHT so I will update accordingly. Auction will be over when BIN is met or on Friday August 19th at 11pm eastern US time. I reserve the right not to sell the site if minimum or BIN is not met. Payment is due within three days of purchase.

Thanks,
Joe

also, just a note, all uniques are to the main page only, there are more that comes in on the welcome page when people click on a hosted image but I am not tracking those
